                                                    Football
 This one of the sports that i am interested in, as a new student to this school i was really nervous about the fact weather my teammates would really support me and weather they will accept me. But as my training sessions as an ISSAK open boys team member went on i got used to my teammates and i was able to communicate and connect with them properly. Even though i played football before i only used to play for fun but never in a team. In my last school they never allowed new comers to join the team but in this school it was different and i really liked that fact, this in fact made me more strong in choosing to play the sport.
Learning outcomes:

Undertake new challenges:
Through out this 2 month football season i had to take many new challenges, my main challenge was to balance my study time and football time. It was also really difficult for me to play in a new position were i never played before. I had to change from being a right back to being a center back. most of u might think that it is really easy but it is not as easy as u think it is. you have to change allot of techniques. There were some match situations that i had to play as a striker, these situations were really tough i had to think of how to change my game play within a really short duration

Develop new skills:
As i mentioned earlier i played football in a different possition and it took me allot of difficulty to get out of my comfort zone and learn all the new skills of how to change the game style and play in different positions. This may sound really funny but i also developed the skills of patience i didn't play in all matches but in some i was substitute i learnt that i have to be really patient and just listen to the coach as he knows more than what i know.

Work collaboratively with others:
We all know that football is a team game, and we know that we need all the players to put in their best to go ahead and win matches. At the begining i thought that it will be really difficult to coordinate as we had a really short time but we all used each and every second of our practice to improve our communication and this helped us win most of our matches.
This improvement helped us grow grow as a team
